Sheff G

Michael Kyle Williams, known professionally as Sheff G, was born on September 23, 1998, in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in Flatbush, Brooklyn, he was influenced by the sounds of The Notorious B.I.G. and Chicago drill artists like Lil Bibby and Chief Keef. His early life involved connections to the 83 (Eight Trey) Gangsta Crips from age 12, and he experienced periods of incarceration for a felony gun charge and robbery, being released in 2017. These experiences influenced his music, contributing to the distinct Brooklyn drill sound he co-pioneered.

Sheff G gained significant recognition in 2017 with his viral single “No Suburban,” a response to 22Gz’s “Suburban.” This track and its sequel, “No Suburban Pt. 2,” established him as a key figure in the emerging Brooklyn drill movement. In 2019, he founded his label, Winners Circle Entertainment, and released his mixtape, ‘The Unluccy Luccy Kid.’ His debut studio album, ‘One and Only,’ followed in May 2020. The single “No Suburban, Pt. 2” achieved over 21 million streams and was certified Gold by RIAA in 2022. He further expanded his discography with the EP ‘Just 4 Yall’ in July 2020, which included collaborations with artists like King Von and Rich The Kid.

In August 2020, Winners Circle Entertainment entered into a partnership with RCA Records, significantly broadening Sheff G’s reach. This collaboration led to the release of “Tip Toe,” another RIAA Gold-certified single featuring Sleepy Hallow. In December 2020, Audiomack recognized him as “Up Now,” further cementing his presence in the music industry. He continued releasing music, including the mixtape ‘Proud Of Me Now’ in December 2020 and the album ‘From the Can’ in July 2022, which featured artists such as Fivio Foreign, Polo G, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie. His career progression highlights his impact on the Brooklyn drill scene and his consistent output of music.
